Classrooms are again filled with students and teachers exploring new frontiers together. Some routines remain the same but many have been altered by our 'new normal' to ensure the health of teachers, students, and administrators.
Partners is adapting to these new considerations, including classroom needs, field trip arrangements, and in-person instruction. Even with a changing landscape, we're committed to providing essential services to community educators and celebrating their work. Read on for a few examples of how we're accomplishing this.

Congratulations Teachers! |
From African drumming to preschool mechanics to Model United Nations, teachers from across the district have prepared exciting learning experiences for their students.
And for 33 years, Partners has supported those experiences with Teacher Grants of up to $1,000. This school year, our competitive grants program has awarded more than $14,000 to 16 Santa Fe teachers.
